Office 2007 Excel

Every time i open Excel 2007 i get the following; "The file you are trying to
open,'PDFMaker.OLDxla',is in a different format than specified by the file
extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source
before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" I pressed
CTRL+Shift+I and receive the folowing id 101786 however I could not find
anything relating to the above. As a note you have to press NO two times
before you can get into excel.
Hope I got this in the correct discution group.

If you're not using the pdfmaker.* addin, how about just closing excel and using
windows|search to find that file and move it to a different location (or delete
it if you really don't want it).

Thank you Dave but i am not aware of a PDFmaker addin being installed on this
machine. I have adobe 5.0 and reader 8.0 installed however I did not have
this issue with office 2003

I'd still look for PDFMaker.OLDxla.

Even if you don't think you have it, excel does.

(Although, I've never seen PDFMaker.OLDxla. But problems with PDFMaker.xla are
the subject of many posts around here.)

Jim,

I get the same message when I try to open a file with a custom
extension that has been associated with Excel. I would like to find a
way to bypass the message but haven't had success yet. If I figure
anything out, I'll post back.
